The criteria of a “Top Ten Day” are as such…
- Partly to mostly sunny skies.
- Light winds (less than 10 mph).
- Dry weather (no rain) with low humidity (dew points < 60).
- High temperatures in the 70s.
Right now… it looks like we could see all of those ingredients on more than one day this work-week… as our Fall starts off rather nicely. In fact… the weather looks terrific across most of the Midwest and Plains as we close out September and head into October.
Look for cooler temps over the upcoming weekend… but not by alot. Highs will be in the 60s on Saturday and Sunday… but I expect dry conditions (and relatively light winds) to persist. Here’s a look at some of the events scheduled around the metro later this week:
- The Fall Home and Garden Expo runs from Friday through Sunday at Qwest Center Omaha. Hours of the event are 5pm-10pm Friday, 11am-8pm Saturday, and 11am-5pm Sunday.
- Gifford Farm Fall Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday down in Bellevue. This family-friendly nature and outdoor event goes from 10am-4pm on Saturday and 11am-4pm on Sunday.
- The UNO Mavericks look to make it two wins in a row on Saturday as they take on the Emporia State University Hornets at Al Caniglia Field. Kickoff for the Mavs’ Homecoming Game is scheduled for 1pm.
- Speaking of football… the Omaha Nighthawks kickoff (literally) their second game of the season at 7:30pm Saturday against the Sacramento Mountain Lions. Fans planning on tailgating down at Rosenblatt Stadium can expect partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-60s (pre-game) that will drop into the mid-50s by late in the 4th Quarter.
